The previous post showed the last prototype I had made. It was made the largest size I can fit a single piece on the bed of my printer, and as a result wasn't big enough to fit in the car where it goes. To make it the right size, I have to print it in three pieces, as shown in the first picture.
I nailed it this time. :dance: This is the final prototype. Next up will be the final product, printed in black ABS for strength and longevity.
Here's how it will look installed (except for the color). I only made one prototype of the cup holder itself, and it doesn't have the bottom support installed for the pictures. Also, I forgot to remove the support structure on the ends before I checked the fit and took the pictures. That bit on the arm sockets, just above the cupholder slots, will be removed on the finished product. That's just there to provide support during printing.
Oh, and I may make a small trim piece to go across the front and hide the fact that it's three pieces, and I'll take more care removing the support structure from inside the slots, so as not to mess up the edges.
